Oil change turned into me taking pictures... Go figure.

Post by Wellintr »

By now most of you are probably sick of seeing my car, since its been up on home page all month, But I did an oil change yesterday and it turned into another photo shoot. I called this one "Up Close" because most of the shots are very close and intimate with the parts of the car. I even took a few under body shots when the car was up for the oil change. Realy its me just beeing bored. You can really see the pearl on these shots though. also a new Mark of Exelence badge on the rear. Enjoy
It stars with the oil change though

You and your perfection! Not sure about the new badge on the rear, but I just noticed your exhaust tips! :thumbup:

I'd never get tired of looking at a Bonneville, especially a white one! :wink:

Your cowl looks great! I picked up that Forever Black stuff a week or so ago. I had to order it online because I couldn't find it. I haven't got around to using it yet, maybe this weekend...

The badge is iffy for me too... it may or may not stay... we'll see. Thanks for the reasurances. I looked every where for that stuff in the store too, but I ended up just buying it from amazon. Still no dissapointments here whith the results everything still looks awsome and they sit out in hot heat all day long... Make sure you post before and after shots!! Thanks again Booze

Isn't that normal for those tabs to be like that? :)

That car is amazingly clean for 6 years old. Simply amazing.

I like the chicklets, but I think right there isn't the place for it to be. Would be better on the side somewhere.

The side seems like the best idea, but you already have the SLE badge there. If you were to put the GM one on, I'd say get rid of the SLE badge.
